Great Course

We wanted to golf somewhere different this year and based on other reviews we picked this course. The staff was great there were several twosomes but it still moved quickly. Had a snack at the snack bar when done. Highly recommend this course.

Note Construction in pricess

Great staff and good pro shop. Bathrooms well kept. Carts are in great shape and run fast.
Course was under construction which I didn't know until I got there. Note on booking didn't give details about situation. All greens were blocked off and moved forward onto the fairways. Some made the distance 60 to 80 yds shorter. More work is needed besides the greens. The tee boxes were hard as a rock and many were 50 % or more bare dirt. The geese are a problem and dominate the tee boxes and the greens alo g with leaving their poop where you have to walk. Numerous cigarette butts on tee boxes as well as broken tees.
Many of the fairways were dried up and contained deep holes and bare dirt sections. I have played this course in years past and it was much better. I guess the greens work is being done so let the rest "go to pot" is the thinking. It seems you could work on front 9 then the back 9 after completing. Worker there said if we do all 18 greens it takes 6 weeks. If we do 9 then 9 it would take 10 years. That makes no sense. Not even a funny thing to say.
Also huge trees cut and laying around all over the course. Unsafe areas. Why not cut and clean up each tree. Oh, I got it, it would take 10 years.
Co.e on guys, get your act together and take some pride.
I have recommended your course to others in past years. Not now. Glad I had a discount to use on this day.

Decent track

Not a bad layout. Have to hit it both ways off the tee. Short course that is fairly tight in places. My group was told to hurry up when no one was behind us for a hole. Some of the greens had poor areas but pin placements tried to evade the rough patches. I’ll play there again at some point.

Great deal

Nice course, the greens were a little rough but hey it was December. We will return and play it again in the spring / summer.
The bacon breakfast sandwich is amazing. The best I have ever had anywhere. Worth a trip there just for the sandwich 🙂.

Fun course to play

We enjoyed playing this course. There’s lots of water so placement of your ball is important. Some greens and tee boxes were in rough shape. Overall great course to play for what it cost us to play
